Chapter 2, Episode 002: Her face flushed and her heart pounded.
Upon hearing this, Lu Liangyu, who had been silent for a long time, finally reacted, turning his head slightly and looking calmly at Shen Rongshi with his expressionless eyes.
Silence immediately upon hearing this.
The atmosphere suddenly turned terribly cold.
Shen Rong hurriedly avoided eye contact, not daring to utter another word.
Despite the room being warm and cozy, a chill rose from her feet, making her hair stand on end. Facing those unfocused yet still dark and cold eyes, Shen Rongshi instantly snapped back to reality. Even though the person in front of her suffered from an eye ailment, he was still not someone to be trifled with.
Lu Liangyu: "Don't reveal that I'm here, lest we alert the enemy."
Thinking of the woman with the white veil, Shen Rongshi's tone was uncertain: "Does she know... your identity?"
"I was unaware that I used my mother's surname, Lu."
—
After daybreak, Tao Hong prepared hot water and returned to her room.
Lin Wan had already gotten up and was washing up with hot water.
The bronze mirror, enveloped in steam, gradually reflected her features.
Her skin was like solidified cream, her eyebrows like crescent moons, her lips red and her teeth white, and her eyes, clear and bright like autumn water, seemed to be able to captivate people's hearts, making them intoxicated at first glance.
Her light blue dress was embroidered with delicate red plum blossoms, her slender waist was cinched with an embroidered brocade belt, and her long black hair was tied in a low bun with only a white jade plum blossom hairpin in her hair, making her look elegant and charming.
"Tch." Lin Wan frowned, her fingertip tentatively touching the reddened scar: "Why does this wound look even redder? It's also a little painful now."
Tao Hong pondered for a while, her expression showing hesitation: "Why don't we go see a doctor again?"
"Oh yes, we should go and see a doctor. I wonder if Young Master Lu's eye condition has improved..."
Lu Liangyu...
well.
It's a name as cold as jade.
How annoying! How can there be someone who ignores her so much?
Lin Wan felt a sense of powerless defeat; it was like casting a flirtatious glance at a blind man.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
It was the innkeeper's waiter, who waited outside the door with a happy expression: "Miss Lin, the Sage of Medicine Hua has returned to Bianzhou City!"
"Is it that legendary Chinese doctor who can set broken bones and bring the dead back to life?"
"Yes, the shopkeeper said that if Miss Lin is sure she wants to see Doctor Hua, it would be best to do so sooner rather than later. If it is later, everyone in the city will know that Doctor Hua has returned to the city, and there will probably be a lot of people crowding there, and you may have to wait a long time to see a doctor."
"We definitely have to go. Help us get a carriage ready to wait."
The unpleasantness from just now vanished instantly. Lin Wan rubbed her face, picked up the veil on the table with her fingertips, and strode out to find Lu Liangyu.
When she checked into the inn, there were only two rooms left, one on the east side and one on the west side, separated by a long corridor. Lin Wan walked briskly down the corridor.
"Is Young Master Lu awake?"
The door to the east wing room opened at that very moment.
Lin Wan's eyes lit up, and she immediately smiled: "Young Master Lu, are your eyes feeling better today?"
Lu Liangyu covered her eyes with a silk veil to block the scrutinizing gaze, and shook her head indifferently, saying, "Perhaps it will be better in a few days."
"I heard that the highly skilled physician Hua Yisheng has returned to the city. He is particularly adept at treating eye diseases. Why don't we go and have a look at him today?"
Lu Liangyu pondered for a moment, then her clear, cold voice rang out: "My eyes are fine. Didn't the doctor say last time that they would heal once the accumulated blood stasis dissipates?"
It's all about waiting, waiting, waiting again.
But she didn't have that much time to wait.
Seeing Lu Liangyu hesitating to leave, Lin Wan continued, "I have family matters to attend to, and my father is urging me to return home... If possible, I would like to see your eyes fully healed before I go back."
"We've known each other for a month now, and you still haven't seen me. If we meet on the street next time, will you still recognize me?"
Lin Wan hoped to persuade him to seek out the renowned physician Hua. She spoke in a hurry and momentarily forgot about the scar on her face, suddenly pulling at the wound.
"ah!"
Lin Wan paused in pain.
Tao Hong felt extremely distressed: "Miss, please slow down. Didn't you just say your wound hurts again?"
"Yes, it's been hurting more and more these past two days."
“Let’s go find the Sage of Medicine Hua,” Lu Liangyu suddenly said.
Lin Wan paused for a moment, then smiled broadly. She accompanied Young Master Lu for a simple breakfast before setting off.
Arriving at the stairs, gazing at the dozen or so steps, Lin Wan subconsciously turned to look at Lu Liangyu, who was blindfolded.
"The stairs are difficult to climb, how about I help you down?"
Strangely enough, if a man she usually encountered was blindfolded, she would definitely keep her distance. But Lu Liangyu looked even more like a celestial being with his eyes covered, and even a light touch could make her heart race.
"Thank you for your trouble."
A surge of joy welled up inside me.
She finally got to hold Lu Liangyu's hand as she had wished.
With clearly defined joints and a slender, powerful build, the moment their skin touched, Lin Wan heard the thunderous sound of a heartbeat again.
Beneath her fair skin were clearly visible blue veins, and her large palms could easily envelop her slender hands.
She carefully observed Lu Liangyu's reaction, and moved closer to him little by little with light steps.
Just by gently helping Lu Liangyu downstairs, she already blushed and her heart was pounding.
Fortunately, she wore a veil, which concealed the shy expression on her face. No one could see that her face under the veil was so delicate and beautiful.
The long staircase suddenly seemed very short. Even after they reached the bottom of the stairs, passed through the crowd of diners on the first floor, and walked out, she still held Lu Liangyu's hand.
Peach Blossom, who was following behind, saw this but hesitated to speak.
At this moment.
Lu Liangyu's indifferent voice rang out: "Miss Lin, are you going to hold my hand forever?"
"..."
Under his sidelong gaze, Lin Wan angrily and reluctantly let go of his hand and withdrew it.
Already feeling a little guilty, upon hearing this, I couldn't help but defend myself: "What are you saying? I was just worried that you couldn't see the threshold in front of you and that you might trip and fall."
That idiot! He's blind and can't even go downstairs. He's so cautious about holding hands. He's such a blockhead!
She's so beautiful, how come she doesn't understand the feelings of a young man who admires her?
A moment later, Lin Wan clearly heard a soft laugh beside her.
He hummed in agreement and said casually, "Thanks."
Oh my god...
Lu Liangyu smiled!
This is the first time in a month that I've seen him smile.
A smile that lasted only a moment.
Lin Wan was so overjoyed that she was speechless for a moment.
It wasn't until she was seated in the carriage that Lin Wan belatedly became shy.
She was truly tempted...
The carriage was cramped, and their clothes overlapped, making her face flush even more. She hurriedly looked away, lifting the curtain with her fingertips to gaze at the bustling city of Bianzhou, trying to calm her already chaotic and agitated heart.
Hua Yisheng's Xinglin Medical Clinic is located two blocks away from the inn.
The small storefront has three rooms, with a blue cloth curtain separating customers from those seeking medical treatment. It was early morning, but the long bench in front of the counter was almost full of people waiting in line.
Peach Blossom moved nimbly and found the only remaining bench in the corner.
Seeing this, Lin Wan gently tugged at Lu Liangyu's sleeve and whispered, "There are many people seeking medical help. Let's go sit on the benches and wait."
Lu Liangyu's eyebrows twitched slightly. Although he couldn't see, he could feel his sleeve being gently tugged by her, like a pet cat scratching him lightly with its paws.
After waiting for a long time, he uttered two words calmly: "Okay."
Lin Wan gently pulled him by the sleeve and led him to sit down on the bench.
However, as soon as they sat down, a staff member came out of the consultation room and said that they would begin the consultations there.
Lin Wan was overjoyed; it was wonderful that she didn't have to waste time waiting.
The white-haired Hua Yisheng carefully examined Lu Liangyu's eyes after she removed the silk ribbons and veils, and then patiently took her pulse and asked her questions.
Seeing Hua Yisheng's serious demeanor, Lin Wan's heart pounded in her throat, fearing he would say there was no cure...
The renowned physician Hua said, "Young master, your pulse is stable. Your previous injuries are not serious, but your eyes..."
"How are your eyes? Are they alright?"
Hua Yisheng raised his eyes and looked at the woman with a white veil. His clear and bright eyes were full of worry. His tone softened slightly: "How could you be in trouble after meeting me, Hua Yisheng? Your blindness is due to blood stasis. Let me give you a few acupuncture needles and some herbal decoctions, along with hot compresses. The blood stasis will dissipate soon, and your eyes will be fine."
"Really?" Lin Wan breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good. Thank you for your help, Doctor Hua."
"Young lady, please wait a moment outside the curtain. It is not convenient to show the acupuncture process to others."
Lin Wan reluctantly walked back to the bench where she had been waiting, turning back every few steps. Only when the curtain was lowered did she finally look away.
In the closed consultation room shrouded by curtains, Hua Yisheng, abandoning his previous casual attitude, stood up respectfully and bowed to Lu Liangyu, saying, "Greetings, Your Highness."
"Medical Sage Hua, no need for such formalities." Lu Liangyu nodded, her demeanor shifting to one of unparalleled nobility. "Was it Shen Rongshi who summoned you?"
Hua Yisheng nodded.
"Actually, a month ago, on the day the prince went missing, I was also secretly searching for your whereabouts. I searched quietly for a long time, but I couldn't find you. I was so worried. If something happened to you, how could I face the princess and the deceased prince? Fortunately, I received a message from Shen Rongshi yesterday. It turns out that the prince has been rescued in Bianzhou City. I rushed back overnight."
Hua Yisheng couldn't hide his smile: "I didn't expect that the young master would come before I even had a chance to go and look for him. That's wonderful."
Lu Liangyu: "I understand your feelings."
After observing his eye injury, the renowned physician Hua Yisheng decided to use acupuncture.
He found the acupoints and inserted the needle, inserting it into several acupoints in succession. After removing the needle, Lu Liangyu felt a surge of energy rushing to his head and rushing towards his eyes. Suddenly, Lu Liangyu vomited a mouthful of dark blood, which sprayed onto the ground. Instantly, he felt refreshed, and the heaviness in his eyes dissipated by more than half.
"The pent-up blood has been expelled, and the prince's eyes will regain their sight in a few days to half a month."
The physician found some more medicinal powder, applied it to the gauze, and carefully covered his eyes again: "This medicinal powder can remove blood stasis and is beneficial to the prince's eyes."
After a short while, Hua Yisheng's gaze drifted, and through the gap in the curtain, he caught sight of the woman waiting outside. He hesitated, then asked tentatively, "I wonder who the woman who accompanied the young master just now is? She seemed very concerned about the young master's injuries."
The shyness overflowing in her eyes could not be concealed at all. Looking at Lu Liangyu, who was still charming and graceful despite being blindfolded, Hua Yisheng thought to himself: Another one attracted by the prince's handsome face.
Lu Liangyu hesitated before asking, "...Did you see her face?"
